Deprecated. This
attribute sets the background color for the document body or table cells.

This attribute sets the background color of the canvas for the document body
(the BODY element) or for tables (the
TABLE, TR, TH, and
TD elements). Additional attributes for specifying text color can be
used with the BODY element.

This attribute has been deprecated
in favor of style sheets for specifying background color information.

It is possible to align block elements (tables, images, objects, paragraphs,
etc.) on the canvas with the align attribute. Although this
attribute may be set for many HTML elements, its range of possible values
sometimes differs from element to element. Here we only discuss the meaning of
the align attribute for text.

The
align attribute for objects, images, tables, frames, etc., causes
the object to float to the left or right margin. Floating objects generally
begin a new line. This attribute takes the following values:

left: Floats the object to the current left margin. Subsequent
text flows along the image's right side.

right: Floats the object to the current right margin.
Subsequent text flows along the image's left side.

DEPRECATED EXAMPLE:
The following example shows how to float an
IMG element to the current left margin of the canvas.

<IMG align="left" src="http://foo.com/animage.gif" alt="my boat">

Some alignment attributes also permit the "center" value, which does not
cause floating, but centers the object within the current margins. However, for
P and DIV, the value "center" causes the contents of the
element to be centered.

Deprecated.
Specifies where the next line should appear in a visual browser after the line
break caused by this element. This attribute takes into account floating
objects (images, tables, etc.). Possible values:

none: The next line will begin normally. This is the default
value.

left: The next line will begin at nearest line below any
floating objects on the left-hand margin.

right: The next line will begin at nearest line below any
floating objects on the right-hand margin.

all: The next line will begin at nearest line below any
floating objects on either margin.

Consider the following visual scenario, where text flows to the right of an
image until a line is broken by a BR:

********* -------
| | -------
| image | --<BR>
| |
*********

If the clear attribute is set to none, the line
following BR will begin immediately below it at the right margin of
the image:

********* -------
| | -------
| image | --<BR>
| | ------
*********

DEPRECATED EXAMPLE:
If the clear attribute is set to left or
all, the next line will appear as follows:

The
FONT element changes the font size and color for text in its
contents.

The BASEFONT element sets the base font size (using the size attribute). Font size changes achieved with FONT
are relative to the base font size set by BASEFONT. If
BASEFONT is not used, the default base font size is 3.

DEPRECATED EXAMPLE:
The following example will show the difference between the seven font sizes
available with FONT:

The
HR element causes a horizontal rule to be rendered by visual user
agents.

The amount of vertical space inserted between a rule and the content that
surrounds it depends on the user agent.

DEPRECATED EXAMPLE:
This example centers the rules, sizing them to half the available width
between the margins. The top rule has the default thickness while the bottom
two are set to 5 pixels. The bottom rule should be rendered in a solid color
without shading:
